4 Currency 5 by shaping our future together The future is part of our DNA: since 1852 Giesecke+Devrient has been driving the development of the currency industry always with the goal of giving our customers long-term and reliable advantages. Big data analytics Today there are more than 460 billion banknotes in circulation. And there will be more. That means that over the course of a banknote s life cycle, ever-larger amounts of data can be made available. There is huge potential in this that can be used by our customers for many innovative services and even for new business models. With the help of the most up-to-date track-and-trace methods, for example, G+D Currency can trace the flow of banknotes in detail. In this way information about banknote circulation can be collected, and this can be used as a basis for developing innovatively improved bank notes. And, with big data analytics, even more precise prognoses for the cash cycle can be made. Digitalization The real digital revolution has only just begun. Through new IT solutions, e.g. in the area of arti ficial intelligence, the cash cycle can be shaped more efficiently than ever before. Our solutions experts are already driving substantial new developments. They have increased the productivity of central banks and cash centers while, at the same time, providing maximum security. Connectivity Industry 4.0, the Internet of things, secure inter- connection of machines, IT-systems and processes: with highly secure solutions for data management and data exchange, we enable our customers to use these revolutionary tools with the greatest value and benefits for their specific business needs. Still, networking means even more to us: namely, close relationships with you, our customers. We foster an open exchange of knowledge and together, we work to strive for the best solutions. Automation In the currency field, automated processes not only have great potential to increase efficiency, they also offer significantly more security by eliminating human cash handling. Thanks to our holistic approach to cash-center automation and G+D Currency s deep understanding of banknote processing, we create intelligently automated cash centers. Beyond that, innovations such as NotaTracc allow the processing of more than a million banknotes per day on a single BPS M-system and link cash into automated logistics. We keep realizing our vision of the zero-touch cash center approaching the peak of efficiency and security.
